AN OLD-TIME TRICK.

Republican Party Lies Which Have No
Foundation Whatever.
The desperate attempts being made
| by certain Republican journals of the
country to show that there is a strong
antagonism growing up between Pres
ident Cleveland and Governor Hill as
opposing candidates for the Presiden-
cy are growing to bc extremely anus
ing.
1t seems to be taken for granted by
| these wiseacres that both of these
gentlemen are u couple of school-boys,
one with threatening attitude and the
other with Il chip on his shoulder stand
ing off ready for fight, and it never
seems to strike them that the course
which upto the present time has been
pursued both by the President and
Governor Hill is sensible and digni-
fed one, worthy of the high positions
which they both fill.
1t is an old-time partisan trick to
magnify the petty quarrels of obscure
politicians in the opposite party into o
widespread factional fight and to
charge the same upon conspicuous
leaders, and where the fury of the par
Elephants in the petty fight does not
lend arms for Il strife they are ready to
be supplied by mendacious representa-
tives of the opposition, so it is not
strange to see that which is in reality
= composing of party differences in the
Democratic politics of New York con-
torted into an evidence of wide
spread party revolt. ~
Let these Republican prognostica-
tors possess their souls in patience,
there isn't the slightest danger that
either President Cleveland or Cover
nor Hill will be guilty of any political
foolishness which will give the Repub-
licaps even fighting chance to carry
New York in the Presidential contest
of 1888. .-HarrisburQ (Pu.) Patriot
